How do I file for an extension? I'm currently deployed and will need to wait until I return to get an accurate W-2
How do I file an extension?
An IRS extension gives you until October 16 to file, but it doesn't give you until October to pay your taxes. Those are still due by midnight, April 18.
(Expecting a refund? You may not need an extension. Read more here.)
Download and print Form 4868, fill it out, and get it postmarked before midnight April 18. Payment and mailing instructions are on pages 3 and 4 of your printout.
